War hero
Dennis Morgan becomes the object of a publicity stunt staged by magazine publisher
Sidney Greenstreet. The corpulent print mogul announces that
Morgan has won a Christmas dinner, to be prepared by the magazine's housekeeping expert
Barbara Stanwyck in her own Connecticut home. The catch: Not only does
Stanwyck not have a home in Connecticut, but she's never been in a kitchen in her life! She also doesn't have a husband (as her articles claim), so
Stanwyck's erstwhile beau
Reginald Gardiner is pressed into service as the hubby. As for the cooking, that will be handled by master chef
S. Z. "Cuddles" Sakall. This solves everything, right? No way, Jose. Long dismissed as a lesser film farce,
Christmas in Connecticut has its own irresistible charm, and has in recent years become a perennial Christmas-eve TV attraction. Pay absolutely no attention to the 1992 TV remake, starring
Dyan Cannon and directed by
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
